The AW-HE130 is the successor model of the successful AW-HE120. The new PTZ camera offers new and enriched functions for an expanded range of applications.

The highly sensitive camera is equipped with three newly developed 1/2,86-type three MOS sensors, allowing for high-grade filming even in low light conditions, also offering a superior S/N ratio and high resolution. In addition to 3G-SDI and HDMI output, production quality full HD video output via IP transmission is supported with the AW-HE130. The camera delivers up to four channels of IP streaming video (H.264), with configuration levels of the quality level.

In addition to a sharp, fast F1,6, 20x optical zoom lens, the AW-HE130 is equipped with an innovative 1,4x digital extender that can increase the effective focal length of the lens by 40% while delivering smooth, high resolution video. The new built in Optical Image Stabilization System (OIS) automatically minimizes the effect of small vibrations from the surface where the camera is mounted caused; whether this is caused by the opening and closing of doors, nearby speakers, or other disturbances.

By connecting to network devices that support the IEEE 802,3 at POE+ standard, power can be supplied via LAN cable. Since it is not necessary to install a power supply even a local A.C. outlet, installation costs can be significantly reduced.

Thanks to a highly evolved pan-tilt design, the AW-HE130 achieves smoother and more natural movement during on-air shots. The pan-tilt head also has a wide shooting range, with a pan range of ±175° and a tilt range of -30° to 210°. The newly developed pan tilt drive provides high-speed operation at maximum 60°/s, excellent response to remote control operation, and highly precise stop control. These features combine to accurately capture fast-action sports scenes or smooth concert footage. The noise level during operation is also very low, at NC35 or less, which is ideal for use in quiet environments.

This makes the AW-HE130 an ideal choice as a replacement camera for existing systems. It is available in two colors to match a variety of decors. The pearl white model (AW-HE130W) is suitable for settings such as chapels and wedding halls, while the black metallic model (AW-HE130K) is ideal for capturing theatrical performances or events. It has a turn-lock mechanism that allows ceiling mounting in the same manner as a lighting fixture, and its light weight means it can be installed easily by a single person.

Ver. 2.31

Frame dropping occurs in IP streaming transmission. This problem is fixed. - The process with high load is improved so that it will be performed at an appropriate processing speed.

Priority of the encoder’s task is changed to improve the processing speed.

Unnecessary process to suppress the bit rate is removed.

- Optimization of NDI|HX driver (supplied from NewTek)

The streaming protocol is changed from TCP to UDP so that NW processing load is reduced.

Transmission intervals between control commands for cameras are corrected.

There is a difference in angle of view between NDI|HX proxy and main line videos. This difference is corrected. (*) To enable NDI|HX mode, you need to purchase NDI|HX Upgrade from NewTek, Inc. and then carry out the upgrade according to the information from them.(Driver installation, activation,etc.)

Caution

The latest NDI|HX Driver need to be installed.

When you use your camera together with NDI|HX-compatible devices, please do not connect it with any applications or devices which utilize JPEG transmission. That may cause frame dropping.

Ver. 2.23

New Features

Support for NDI|HX Technology

It is possible to add the function that supports NDI|HX Technology developed by NewTek, Inc.

To enable this function, you need to perform the firmware update to Ver. 2.23. And, after that, follow the information from NewTek, Inc. to carry out the upgrade (driver installation, activation, etc.).

For details, please see the explanation provided in the e-mail and PDF file NewTek, Inc. will send you after your purchase of NDI|HX Upgrade. For others such as operations or procedures concerning NewTek products, please contact NewTek, Inc.

New Features

Under the following conditions, HD-SDI output signal is out of sync. This problem is fixed. Output Format: 720/59p or 50p G/L REF Signal: 720/59p, Tri-level SYNC is input. Horizontal Phase setting: Set at the “+” side.

Under the following conditions, video signal has a 1V delay in comparison with audio signal. This problem is fixed. Install Position: Hanging Smart Picture Flip: Auto

The Panasonic AW-HE130 is a remarkably useful camera for covering any event or studio operation where versatile, multicamera coverage is required. It's small and agile, so it can be mounted almost anywhere, yet it is a full-fledged HD camera that delivers very sharp images throughout its formidable zoom range. In many cases it can eliminate the need for camera operators, which will result in major cost savingsSee full article
